Thanks to Dave for pointing this out.
As we age and acquire
various bodily infirmities, our ability to effectively handle physical
challenges diminishes.
As we become increasingly fragile, we lose
defensive options in the event of a physical assault. The disparity of force in
favor of the attacker widens as a function of our physical disadvantages. Given
the inevitability of the age related decline in our physical abilities, how can
we keep safe in the face of violent crime?
There are no easy answers. As our physical
abilities decline, we may have a more restricted range of defensive options. We
probably cannot run away fast enough, if at all. If we are attacked, we are
unlikely to be capable of physically fighting back the attacker on a hand to
hand basis. Few of us who retain our mental faculties want to hibernate or hide
from the world. Few of us can afford a personal bodyguard. What are our
options?
